@militrack88: The *CAIG Wing Loong II* is a Chinese Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) combat drone, first flown in 2017 and developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group. It is an enlarged, more capable version of the Wing Loong I. It is a pusher-prop, V-tail UAV with a 20.5m wingspan, 11m length, 4,200kg MTOW and a bulbous nose housing SATCOM. It can stay aloft for up to 32 hours, cruise at 150-200 knots, reach 9,900m altitude, and carry up to 480kg of weapons on 6-12 hardpoints — including FT-series bombs, Blue Arrow-7 and Blue Arrow-21 laser-guided missiles. Designed for ISR and strike, it has been exported to Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and others as a lower-cost alternative to the US MQ-9 Reaper, and has seen combat in Libya, Yemen and Nigeria. #military #technology #war #defense
